## Summary

Grignolino from vineyards at Isola d'Asti, vinified in steel; the family calls the variety demanding in climate and soil and tricky to vinify.

## Tasting notes

Delicate, fine nose with undergrowth, dried flowers and often a characteristic white pepper note. Brilliant ruby red with thin amber reflections. Lively and savoury yet refined, dry with typical tannins and a pleasantly almond aftertaste.

## Food pairings

A platter of cured meats, courgette omelette with ricotta and mint, fried anchovies or ricotta and mint ravioli in tomato.
